Sam Sloan might get off it too - since he likes to declare that people don't

join in like a regular human being and play like anyone else here. We are
not *special* people. If he can't do that, take a hike!

Phil Innes

For those who are new here you should be made aware of the fact what
Phil Innes refers to as playing "like anyone else here" means playing
online on the Internet where Phil Innes can consult computers,
friends, books and databases.

I have challenged Phil Innes to a match for one thousand dollars CASH
MONEY ON THE TABLE.

I propose for the match to be refereed by that distinguished
International Arbiter Larry Cohen.

Here I am a very lowly, lowest of the low 1923 rated chess player,
challenging that highest of the high, mightiest of the mighty "Nearly
an IM" Phil Innes to a match for money, and he refuses to play me.

Has this man no honor, no pride?
